Achkhoy-Martan District

Welcome to the Achkhoy-Martan Municipal District of the Chechen Republic. The Achkhoy-Martan district is located in the western part of Chechnya in the foothills of the Greater Caucasus Range. Its administrative center is the town of Achkhoy-Martan. It borders on the Sernovodsk, Grozny, Urus-Martan and Itum-Kali districts of Chechnya, as well as the Sunzha and Jeyrakh districts of the Republic of Ingushetia. The climate is continental and low-humid. The leading branch of the economy of the Achkhoy-Martan District is agriculture, namely the cultivation of grain and leguminous crops. In addition to cereal crops cultivation, cattle breeding and vegetable growing are developed in the district. Industry and trade also account for a considerable share of the economy. The Achkhoy-Martan district is attractive for its high-mountain lakes and cultural heritage sites: ancient settlements, combat towers, medieval necropolises and burial mounds.

An interactive workshop, "Breathing as Support: Simple Techniques for Everyday Life," was held in the Achkhoy-Martan district as part of the national project "Long and Active Life."

Experts discussed the connection between breathing and the nervous system and addressed common breathing mistakes. During the practical portion, participants mastered basic techniques—diaphragmatic breathing, "square breathing," and breathing with an extended exhalation. Particular attention was paid to how to incorporate these exercises into their daily routine—for example, using pauses at traffic lights or while waiting for an elevator.

The organizers reminded participants that breathing exercises should be performed at a comfortable pace, and that those with chronic illnesses should consult a doctor first.

The event was part of efforts to foster a culture of health care: simple and accessible techniques help reduce stress, maintain concentration, and support cardiovascular health.
